It's not an easy balance to achieve, but we do want to make a game that will be both the best competitive game since Starcraft and also one that many people can enjoy casually without being in a clan or an experienced or knowledgeable NS player. That's the goal at least!

Considering what "with all due respect" normally means, that sentence would actually have been less likely to anger without it.

My bad, this was not my intention. I merely wanted to point out that this very "manifisto" talks about how the traditional player roles, like the monk, are no more in GW2, and thus his wish would be hard to fulfill.

No worries, just pulling your leg.

But in all seriousness, file "with all due respect" under "phrases to avoid." Or under "euphemisms for 'go ###### yourself.'" Depending on how great your need is for euphemisms for 'go ###### yourself.'

Huh... same dealio as Tera: buy the game and get into the betas. Sure, why not?

I'm still torn what to play though. I haven't the foggiest class wise but races it's probably a 3 way tie between the safe but boring Humans, the planty Silvari (I like plant peoples ) and the Asura (I made a cute one with pink pigtails during a gaming expo )

I actually wanted to use a "I keep throwing money at the screen but nothing happens" meme pic but I couldn't find one :P

As for when the next beta is, I don't believe they've said. They've been keeping pretty tight lipped on when any of their betas are, but the FAQ does mention late April so I suspect we'll find out more, if not tomorrow, then as the month progresses

The game client will be available shortly; we will send you an e-mail with a download link.

Your Guild Wars 2 User ID is:sherpa.8462

This is a unique account identifier, consisting of a name and a randomly generated four-digit code. You'll use it during the Guild Wars 2 Beta Event, on the Beta Forums, and in Guild Wars 2 after launch. The name and four-digit code will be your handle on the Beta Forums. The four-digit code does not appear in the game itself unless another player chooses the same name, in which case both your name and the four-digit code will appear.

Save this e-mail for reference! You may need to provide the game account information or your unique ID to a customer service representative to obtain customer support.

Man, â‚¬150 for the collector's edition? I'd rather not have the one-time-use junk items and statue, but be able to buy the making of and whatnot for less than that. Maybe I'll pick them up separately a while after launch, the regular version currently seems by far the most interesting, as the deluxe one adds useless ingame items.

About a year after I started calling myself lolfighter, the only google returns that were not me were from some french forum that apparently referred to the game King of Fighters as 'lolfighter.' For this reason, I feel at least somewhat justified in considering myself the "original" lolfighter. These days, I consider myself lucky if I am the first to pick the name when I sign up for something. I'm going to assume that this is because my fame, my enthralling personality, and my ruggedly handsome good looks inspire envy and a desire to copy me, instead of any more likely explanation.But what this boils down to is that I am happy that I get to be lolfighter, as should be my right. Would I prefer to be the only lolfighter, singular in my magnificence? Yes. Do I prefer the current state of affairs to NOT being able to use my name because some ######bag took it? Also yes.

Why would you boast that you have games inferior to Tera to play while waiting for GW2, LF? ;D

I plan on finding out what server you're on, Making an adorable Asura and following your character around until you either learn to love the snarky lil' race or commit hari-kari with your mouse-cord: not fussed which, it's a win-win situation
